im aware the 79 back ford is the only one that will pretty much direct swap. to use any other left side drop will require welding on proper width perches. I thought I mentioned that. it was a long post sorry. yes the 94 up dodge is the only lhd ones and if I went to dodge I would get a 03 up hd one with the 9.25 aam I think. there is a conversion for them to go back to manual hubs also. also to add 98 up super duties are a different bolt pattern on the wheels so adapters or new hubs are needed if your keeping the chevy bolt pattern.
